Congratulations, I’m 18 weeks today with 1st pregnancy. I’m not sure if I’ve felt anything yet, the other day I felt like small sudden quick move but that was it and sometimes like a bubbly feeling. So hoping that was baby moving, I just want to actually feel it, I’m so impatient aswell x

I didn’t feel anything until I was 20 weeks and up till then, I’d been super impatient as it seemed like a lot of women felt their babies earlier than I did. It started out like small bubbles bursting - I told a colleague (mother of two) and said I wasn’t sure if that was the baby?! She laughed and said I hadn’t felt that before had I, so that was indeed the baby! After that the feelings got stronger week by week to very obvious kicks, thuds, feels like I have a gymnast in there. I’m 30 weeks now. Congratulations to you all, also.

First pregnancy I felt a flutter at 16 weeks, second pregnancy more like 17/8 weeks! But some of my friends were more like 19/20 x

They normaly say between 18-25 weeks you will start to feel movement specialy if its your first..... you might start to get butterfly feelings that is your baby moving around.... im 23 weeks with my second and ive only just started to feel him moving :) it is a nice feeling when you do feel it :) Congratulations I hope all goes well with your pregnancy :)

I was 21 weeks when i started to feel baby. At my 20 week scan they said my placenta was at the front so that would mask alot of the movement but 1 week later...volia!
